Bring the thunder, the Boomstick, the man with five strings and five fingers, Scott Hancock. Although, extremely boisterous in personality, he settles in as one of the best pocket Bass players on the scene, He wears his heart on his sleeve and checks his ego at the door. Originally from Orlando Florida, Scott has been playing in music from the age of 4 starting on piano and working his way through many different instruments through his school years. He settled on the bass and guitar at the age of 18 and once out of the US Navy he started off running around in the rock scene and didn’t look back. Scott plays with extreme passion and he sees music in a different light than the rest of the band, which comes out in the way he plays and in the way he writes lyrics and music. A co-writer and considered the work horse of the band, his playing adds confidence, stability, and quality to ON2U.

Mike Smith- the axe man, the six- string shooter, the man of few words but ten thousand notes, guitarist and co-song writer Mike Smith is a Florida native hailing from St Pete and has been playing guitar since he was about 10 years old. Mike mastered his craft and has a sound and style all his own. His back ground in southern rock and blues mixed with heavy metal allow his writing to transcend the typical and elevate the music the band records. Mike might be soft in voice, but he screams on guitar.

Fixing the Electric by Day and Electrifying by night, guitarist Matt Powell joins ON2U adding his distinct style and his talent to The ON2U line-up.  Matt finds himself gravitating to the sounds of heavy, hardcore guitars riffs of the 80's metal hair band days, from such guitarist as Randy Rhoads, Zakk Wylde, Dime-bag Darrell, Dave Sabo and Scotti Hill, and  Dave Murray.   Matt  has been asked to play with countless bands over the years and has joined them on stage for a quickie. Band like Sobriety X, Argus, P.B.R., 100 Years and the list goes on. Matt Powell adds a distinct sound all his own, and a feeling, to our own, that only add to the overall experience. So, consider this, the next time you see a bolt of lighting tear across the sky….it might just be Matt lighting up those strings.

The wild man on the Drums, Joe Forcino, the techno-beater, the man of a thousand cymbals, the sonic boom. These are just some of the name used for Joe; hailing from smith town, Long Island New York, Joe has been playing the skins for 30 plus years. He plays aggressive, animal like, while still giving a solid steady rhythm. While he has no ego to bruise and wears his heart on his sleeve, he is a driving force behind ON2U. Joe Forcino is an incredible asset to our family as a drummer and a friend. The next time you hear thunder outside, check the weather because you may just be hearing Hurricane Joe.
